ANNOUNCEMENTS
Congratulations to Jake and to the Martin family, who someone on Facebook correctly referred to as the “First Family of Brossart Football.” I have every confidence that you will maintain and advance the standards and accomplishments of those who preceded you and those players who will now walk in your footprints. I already sense optimism among our returning players and the Brossart Community. We are excited to have you as our Head Coach!

We are fortunate again to have both of our teams competing for 10th Region Championships Thursday night in Brooksville. On the girls side Brossart and Nicholas County have pretty much dominated the landscape in recent years with Brossart winning five title games and the Lady Jackets cutting down the nets on three occasions since 2017. Paris did sneak a title in there in 2022. Our Lady ‘Stangs face an incredibly young Nicholas County team, loaded with 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, who compliment their standout Junior, Maggie Simons, who averages 25 points per game. While our team is looking for back-to-back titles, this one would be special for Coach Aaron Stamm, who despite all of his years in coaching, has never won an All “A” Regional Championship.
Our Mustangs are looking for our third 10th Region “A” title in Ben Franzen’s four year head coaching tenure, and our eighteenth overall. We will have to earn it against a very formidable Nicholas County Blue Jackets team who comes into the Thursday title game sporting a 13-5 record. While Nicholas County has defeated us in 2024 and even back in 2000 when we failed to win the “A”, but went on to win the 10th Region Championship and then defeated Graves County in the “Sweet 16” State Tournament at Rupp, they have not won a 10th Region “A” Championship since 1994 – two years prior to Brossart coming to the 10th Region. With trophy presentations and net cutting taking place from the Girls game preceding us, expect a late start time to the boys game. You are best advised to tune into the Girls Game for an approximate start time to the Boys event.

Both of our Brossart teams punched their tickets to Thursday night’s 10th Region “A” Championship Games with wins over Bracken County on Tuesday, BUT each took different routes to get there. The girls pretty much followed the script, jumping out to a 22-9 first quarter lead and expanding their advantage that ended in a running-clock 70-32 win over the Lady Bears. Ten Lady ‘Stangs put numbers on he scoreboard, paced by Hadley Eviston with 16, Graylee Kramer 14, and Avery Wietholter, 10. Kailey Sharp was really good for Bracken County. The sophomore led all scorers with 19 points and was named to the 10th Region Tournament All-Tournament Team.
The Boys game was a slightly different matter. Prior to the Augusta game Saturday evening while chatting with Jason Hinson, the Panthers Head Coach, he told me that he couldn’t figure out our team, to which I responded, “Neither can we”. In the first period of our game last night versus Bracken County we dismantled them, playing near-perfect basketball while building a 26-6, 20 point lead. We would discover that we would need every one of them as we were out-scored 51-39 the rest of the way. Even after gong into the fourth quarter up 14 points, the Bears made a serious run at us, cutting our lead to 56-51 with the ball, and with over three minutes remaining in the game for them to overtake us. Fortunately, despite taking a few late game ill-advised shots and leaving others 9 1/2 feet high, we hit enough field-goals and free-throws to stem the tide and win the game, again we received quality contributions from our sophomores.
Coming off of a 12 point outing against Augusta, Brady Rowe added 8 more last night in Brooksville versus the home team. On this night, while still sub-par from the line, Free-throws were our friend, as we had a 16-3 advantage in that department—the difference in the game. Nick Cozzi led the Mustangs with 16 points. Brady Boruske added 15, and Beckett Kuntz 14. I thought we missed Jackson Steffen (out for the season with a bad knee) tonight.
With the win the Mustangs creep closer to being back at .500, improving to 7-8. We will play for our eighteenth 10th Region All “A” Championship Thursday night at approximately 7:45pm (or later). Nicholas County will be looking to cut down the nets for the first time since 1994.
Buckle your seat belts.
